So cool! This is the first time I have ever found the "week" I was on on youtube! I put week in quotes as we taped all five episodes the same day, with clothing changes.

until 1985, my home (and i think my town) had only the CBC, and then we had cable, and one of the channels was ITV Edmonton, and this was on daily, and i can remember this coming on around suppertime for us (I lived in Labrador on AST and Edmonton was 3 hours behind).

I watch jackpot when I was a kid on the USA network and it's still good and Canada is cool.

[@markhyatt7607]

Mike Darow would ask the players " What's your occupation?" On Dream House and Jackpot.

I've always liked the music as the players change after a wrong answer

[@rickrhinoc9373]

The player changing music cue has a similar motif to the New Chain Reaction theme music.

@4:40, isn't that same prop that Bob used for Winner's Circle on the $25,000 Pyramid?

This episode originally aired on USA network between 1/6/86 and 3/24/86 on a MOnday(the Jackpot logo behind Mike indicates this is the first season of Global/USA Jackpot) The Who's the Boss episode mentioned in the promo at the end of the show originally aired on ABC in the US on 9/23/1986, so this is probably a 9/22/1986 airing on Global. The second season of Jackpot! on USA network began on 9/29/1986, so this is probably a rerun of the episode originally aired on USA on 3/24/1986

[@Jasminebed2]

Must have been same original airdate in Canada, as I recall filming being in February, and airing about 6 weeks later. There was only one more week in the season after this one.

Men are Kings of the Hill and Women are the Queens of the Hill.I'm surprised they accepted "Lived Happily Ever After" when Bob was asked for 3 words"Happily Ever After" .If it was any other show,they probably wouldn't accept it as a correct answer.Wow,$8200,Lucky that it was accepted.
